The coolest dog ever

This is Deisel. he is the coolest dog ever (as you can see). He wears goggles because his main car is a convertable and his googles let him get fresh air while he drives. Diesel is bigger than Maddy and I combined. He loves to swim as much as we do. Deiesel will get the paper, go get you a bottle of water and will bring Annie her slippers.


We think that Diesel or 'DeeDoo' is one of 'our' dogs (Barkleigh is the other one). Lucky for Mom Nana and Annie have dogs or we would be asking for one every day.


We love you DeeDoo!!!

Swimming like Fish

We have been up to Nana and papas two weekends for swimming (even Diesel swam), up to Auntie Carin's to swim and this weekend off to Simon and Blakes cottage to swim!!!
Mom and Dad are planning a long weekend getway where guess what - we get to swim! Oh yah - and Mommy's birthday weekend is coming too and she told us we can go to Nana's swimming then too

Science Camp

This past week was Science camp at Strawberry Patch. Activities included but were not limited to:

- Mentos in a bottle of pop that exploded
- Creating a compost
- Planting a Tree
- Learned about the lifecycle of frogs & catapillers & all about snakes
- Had a solar system dome to go into & created my own 3-D solar system



We are going to miss you Mrs. Berry!!!!

I love you... you love me

A Berry Good Day Indeed

Mom and Maddy visited the market on Thursday night and picked up some delicious Ontario picked berries! Maddy ate a few at the market and a few more on the car ride home!















Mom suggested a strawberry Milkshake for me (given my ongoing weight gain strategy and the volumes of berries Mom had in the fridge). Instead I thought it would be a better idea to make Chocolate dipped Strawberries! YUM!

Hello Halifax!

While William and Kate were touring Ottawa... Jo and Kate were touring Halifax!

Kate got up close and personal with a 40 year old lobster - this one was put back into the Ocean!
















Before going back Jo decided a kiss was in order...
